Optimized service integration

Abstract

An optimized service mediation framework may use customized tokens for reducing cost and latencies per transaction. In particular, a token service and an integration service may function together to generate customized tokens for use by network components within a transaction pathway. Each network component may access information with the token for a predetermined time period and / or for a predetermined number of service calls for service processing tasks related to mapping, security, governing, bridging, transforming, orchestrating, generating events, managing workloads, routing, validating, managing cache, encrypting, queuing and staging, commodity services, transaction management, and quality of service (QoS) / resiliency, among other things.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The disclosure describes a method for implementing common tasks such as security, content-based routing, logging, message format translation, and protocol bridging using tokens within a private network. This approach reduces latencies and cost per transaction. Other aspects of the disclosure include an enhanced service DNS server for resolving service URLs, an enhanced service router for interpreting and routing requests, an enhanced service repository for secure and easy-use storage devices, and an enhanced service gateway for deploying and registering services. These improvements enable efficient and secure communication within a private network.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the Internet is not secure enough for many confidential, proprietary exchanges that occur within private networks such as those maintained by corporations, schools, governmental agencies, and the like.

However, a private network is not open enough and instead creates barriers to agility.

When changes need to be made to how services are provisioned and / or when new services need to be offered, there is no central place to advertise or manage access to the changes and / or new services.

There is also no consistent way to connect users to each service in a secure, reliable and easy-to-provision way.

Under this scenario, it is very difficult to connect together a system that provides adequate speed, security, agility, and extensibility.

In particular, this network configuration makes organizing cross-connectivity and integration across groups of people in a corporation challenging.
